Question 26567: The question goes like this:
Green rivers volunteer fire department recently hosted its annual ice cream social. each of the 83 donated pies were cut into 6 pieces. at the end of the evening the cashier said they had sold 382 pieces of pie. how many pies did they sell? how many were left over? Express your answers in mixed numerals.
What i can't figure out is how to turn the answers into mixed numerals.
Thanks Answer by Paul(988) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! do 83*6 which gives you 498
If they had sold 382 pices of pie:
498-382=116
Now 116 pices were left.
19 1/3 (pies left)
382-116=266 ---->44 1/3 (amount sold)
Hence, there were 19 pies left and 44 pies sold.
Paul.
